I don't think Putin is any kind of ally.
It wouldn’t make sense for Trump to actually collude with Russia when we’ve spent this long saying he didn’t and every investigation has proven that.
What’s more interesting is how closely Russians have been connected to the Democrats, specifically the Clintons, throughout all of these investigations.
-Veselnitskaya was having lunch with Glenn Simpson multiple times around the day she met at Trump Tower.
-the FBI used the call from Kislyak to Flynn to try and paint him as a Russian operative.
-Christopher Steele was obtaining information from Russian Igor Danchenko for the Clinton Campaign
-Michael Sussman was passing off communications between Trump and a Russian bank to the FBI and billing the Clinton Campaign.
-Hunter Biden was taking gifts from the former Mayor of Moscow's wife
I'm thinking this is a cleanup operation in light of what the Durham investigation seems to be pointing to.
